Premiership finishing on Sunday 13th May, which is why the playoff has reverted back with the Cup Final presumably a week earlier than it was this year, on 19th May 2018.

The playoffs have been reversed this year starting with the Championship on the Saturday .

Carabao Cup starts: week commencing 7th August 2017
Checkatrade Trophy starts: week commencing 28th August 2017

Yes, get yourself to Heathrow on Friday and mention Mick's name to the security guards.

You obviously missed this marketing bollocks:

Pairoj Piempongsant, Chairman of Intercarabao, stated: “The EFL Cup embodies the very essence of British football consciousness. All 92 clubs in the country competing in the first major cup competition of the season, culminating in the final at Wembley.

"The EFL Carabao partnership represents a unique platform to expand the Carabao brand nationally and globally; and thus leveraging the universal 'fighting spirit' of football with a truly powerful global platform that will bring new awareness to the EFL internationally, while also establishing Carabao as a major player in the global Energy Drinks market.”

I assume we will be seeded for the first round draw in the Cardboard cup?

Yes I did, but thanks for that. What a load of tosh! Where's the good old League Cup gone?

Oh I know - I've had it circled in my diary as 'Troll Every Orient Fan I Know' Day for quite some time.

...and the first round draw for the 'EFL Carabao Cup' will take place this Friday. In Thailand.

I think you've missed out "the draw for".

Christ how is Phil Cox going to be able to keep his run of consecutive home and away matches going, with this late notice of a game in Thailand:smile:

Strangely enough I purchased some 'Carabao' for the first time ever today without even knowing they were sponsoring the League Cup. It is indeed made in Thailand

There should be some interesting Thais drawn out, there!

Yes, indeed.

Fair point well made. 1-1.

Definitely worthy of a ban. I'll recommend six months to Ken and John :smile:

Premier league finished after our season and yet their fixtures are out today

Hopefully with a "happy ending" :winking:

This was at the request of Manchester City. They were sick of their fixture announcement being overshadowed by news of when we play Oldham at home.

Think it might be because of planning TV scheduling and so on.
